Chapter 200: The Coming-of-Age Ceremony (Part 2)

"Long live the emperor." As the emperor appeared, everyone knelt down hurriedly.

"Hahaha, today is a good day. There's no need to be polite, everyone. Just stand up." The emperor led Concubine Hui and Concubine Yu into the Su Mansion.

After everyone thanked the emperor, they naturally noticed that the emperor did not bring the queen this time. Thinking of the fact that the emperor had previously found out that the queen was the mastermind behind the Gu case, everyone's eyes flashed with understanding.

"Prime Minister Su, I came here today without any gifts. I only brought dancers from the palace to congratulate the princess on her coming of age. Will the Prime Minister dislike this?"

The emperor suddenly turned his head and looked at Prime Minister Su with a smile in his eyes.

"It is my great honor to be able to appreciate the beautiful dance of the palace dancers. I can't thank you enough for your grace. How could I despise it?"

Prime Minister Su naturally took over the emperor's words. Although there had been rumors that the emperor would bring dancers with him, it was still shocking to hear it with his own ears.

When the people on the side heard the emperor's words, envy flashed in their eyes. This Su family's legitimate daughter is only having her coming-of-age ceremony, but the emperor attaches so much importance to her. This girl has a promising future.

"Okay, Eunuch Zhu, bring your people in." The emperor then signaled Eunuch Zhu to come in with a group of girls in colorful gauze skirts.

These dancers all have graceful figures, and even with their faces covered with veils, one can still tell that they are all very beautiful.

Su Xin lowered her head and followed the dancers into the "home" where she had lived for more than ten years.

"Yuer, Yueer!" Under the guidance of the servants, Chen Wanwan found Su Yue who was staying in the garden with Shangguan Nanxing.

Chen Wanwan saw a young girl in a long dress standing opposite the third prince from a distance. She didn't dare to recognize her at first, until she saw the familiar yellow hair, then she spoke loudly.

"Wanwan, you're here?" At this time, Su Yue had just finished talking to Shangguan Nanxing about Chunxian Pavilion being the Mo Kingdom's Crown Prince's lair in Dongyou.

As for what Mo Jingchen had said before, that he would come and kidnap her in a month, she naturally told him about it.

"Don't worry, Yue'er. The last time you were injured by Shangguan Nanfeng, I sent the Shura Sect's top assassin to secretly protect you. Now I can feel that he is near you. That prince of the Mo Kingdom will definitely not be able to touch you."

Shangguan Nanxing followed Su Yue's gaze and saw Chen Wanwan walking towards him with a smile, so he quietly told Su Yue his arrangements.

"Since Miss Wanwan is here, I won't disturb you girls from having a private conversation." Shangguan Nanxing glanced at Chen Wanwan, then turned and smiled softly at Su Yue.

"Yuer, what do you think of this Third Prince?"

Chen Wanwan looked at Shangguan Nanxing's departing back, and thought of how well-matched they had looked when they stood together just now. So she looked at Su Yue with wide eyes, her face full of gossip.

"What?" Su Yue turned her head and looked at Chen Wanwan, not reacting for a moment.

"You ask me, I think it's okay." Chen Wanwan turned her head and looked at Shangguan Nanxing again, pretending to think for a long time before answering.

"It's okay, but definitely not as good as Chu Ziyi." After Su Yue noticed Chen Wanwan's teasing, she fought back immediately.

When Chen Wanwan heard Su Yue's words, her pretty face turned red.

"Don't mention that big wooden man to me. I'm already seventeen after the Chinese New Year, and he doesn't... doesn't..." When Chen Wanwan said this, her face turned completely red.

"That's a bit too much. Anyway, the emperor is here today. Do you want me to lend you a hand?"

Su Yue naturally knew what Chen Wanwan was talking about. After all, it was very unusual for two people who had been engaged since childhood to not have a wedding at the age of seventeen.

"What should we do? Will it make Brother Ziyi angry?" When Chen Wanwan heard Su Yue say this, she subconsciously felt that Su Yue wanted to take her with her to plot against Brother Ziyi.

"Forget it. Anyway, the person who is being stared at by that concubine is not someone I care about." Seeing Chen Wanwan's hesitation, Su Yue pretended to give up.

"No, no, Yue'er, you have to help me. That Bai Lianhua is so annoying. I feel like she will definitely come with you when you come of age. After all, there are many royal relatives coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion this time. How could she miss it?"

When Chen Wanwan heard Su Yue mention Li Yan, she didn't care anymore. She had long forgotten about whether it would make Chu Ziyi angry.

"When the time comes, you will be like this... like this..." Su Yue whispered something in Chen Wanwan's ear. Chen Wanwan frowned at first, but finally her brows relaxed with a smile.

When Su Xin entered the mansion, she was arranged to stay in the guest room to rest temporarily, waiting for the coming-of-age ceremony to begin.

Seeing the unfamiliar guest room in front of him, a hint of mockery flashed in Su Xin's eyes.

The house I have lived in since I was a child, but in the end I have to live in the guest room?

"Luo Jin, where are you going?" One of the dancers saw Su Xin walking out the door and asked hurriedly. The nanny was not there at this time. What if Luo Jin walked around and got into trouble?

Unexpectedly, Luo Jin ignored her and walked out of the room without looking back.

"Quick, find Mammy. I don't know what Luo Jin is going to do. If he causes trouble in the Prime Minister's Mansion, we will all be in trouble."

Another dancer quickly signaled a few people to stop the people, and she ran out to look for her nanny.

But just as they went out to stop the man, who knew that Luo Jin ran faster than a rabbit and disappeared in a moment.

"Oh my god, how can Luo Jin run so fast? If this is my first time coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion with all its winding roads, I will definitely not be able to outrun her."

A dancer looked at the empty door and couldn't help but sigh quietly.

"Yes, I just discovered that Luo Jin seems to be very familiar with the Prime Minister's Mansion." Another dancer opened her eyes wide and sighed.

At this time, Su Xin was walking towards Yanliu Pavilion in twists and turns. She had disappeared for such a long time, and it was okay that the prime minister didn't look for her, but why did her biological mother, Aunt Liu, ignore her?

She must find out!

From a distance, Su Xin saw a group of guards surrounding Yanliu Pavilion. Her heart sank. Could it be that with her mother's methods, she still couldn't deal with the prime minister?

"Stop, what are you doing? No outsiders are allowed to enter here." Su Xin got closer, and the guard at the door held his weapon horizontally and asked.

"Excuse me, I am the dancer that the emperor brought here today to celebrate the princess' coming of age. I am lost. May I ask where this place is and why is the security so tight?"

Su Xin opened her eyes wide and pretended to be confused.

"The guest rooms are over there. This is not the place for you. Go away." After hearing what Su Xin said, the guards loudly dissuaded her. Knowing that she was someone brought by the emperor, their tone was not as rude as before.

"Okay, I'll leave now." Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of him, Su Xin remembered that she had hidden some private money in An Xinxuan, so she thought of using it to bribe the guards.

"Who is it?" Aunt Liu heard shouting outside, so she signaled her personal maid Xiaoxue to go and take a look.

Xiaoxue was leaning against the door and just happened to see Su Xin's departing back. She was shocked to find that the woman from behind looked like a young lady, so she ran in in a panic.

"Aunt...Aunt, it seems that the eldest lady is here." Xiaoxue suppressed the surprise in her eyes. After all, this eldest lady had been missing for a long time. How could she come back now?

"Xin'er, Xin'er is back?" Aunt Liu was so surprised that she wanted to stand up and go out to see, but she just stood there without moving her body at all.

Aunt Liu is now nearly six months pregnant. Because of Su Yue's good nourishment, Aunt Liu no longer has any of her previous graceful figure. She looks extremely bloated, and even her previously pointed face is now round.

Aunt Liu naturally noticed that something was wrong. It was not like she had never given birth to a child before. It was only a few months old, and it was definitely wrong for her body to be so bloated.

The first thing she thought of was supplements, but because of the appetite-stimulating medicine Su Yue had given her, even if she didn't take supplements, she still had to eat a lot every day.
